Sharon Flynn

Hi, I'm Sharonlflynn on Wikipedia.

I live in county Galway, in the West of Ireland. I'm originally from Dublin. I studied Mathematics and Computer Science at University College Dublin, and I have a PhD in Computing Science from the University of Glasgow

I work in Higher Education in Ireland, mainly in academic staff development. I have a particular interest in using technology to support teaching and learning.

Wikimedia Activities

Following a presentation demonstrating the potential benefits of Wikimedia in education, I became a member of the Wikimedia Community Ireland User Group. I am particularly interested in using Wikimedia to support teaching and learning activities in higher education.

If you'd like to get in touch about any potential Wikimedia projects, use my Talk page, and I'll get back to you.
